The issue between Turks and Kurds as a side effect of the war on Caliphate
The issue between Turks and Kurds, threatens to become a serious side effect of the war on the Caliphate. The tension between the two parties is constantly growing, after the Turkish military forces have not intervened to protect the Syrian Kurdish city, situated on the border with Turkey, of Kobani, the object of a violent attack by the army of the State Islamic. This decision has sparked violent protests in Turkey, where there have been a number of victims, as well as the wrath of the Kurds in Germany. Up to that point, Ankara and the Kurdistan Workers Party, were carrying out a peace deal, which had preserved the country from turkish attacks by Kurdish separatist formations. In addition to not intervene against the forces of the caliphate, the Turkish authorities are preventing the Kurds on their territory, to cross the border to fight in defense of Kobani. All these reasons have made escalate the situation between the two parties, until the news of the bombardment of positions of the Workers' Party of Kurdistan, by military aircraft of Ankara, turkish territory on the borders with Iraq and Syria. This bombardment was carried out in response to attacks that Kurdish militants have put in place against turkish army military posts. The situation despite being confused <, for lack of confirmations, reveals the deep aversion to the Kurdish turkish behavior and the almost certain re-opening of hostilities that have made unnecessary the negotiations so far carried out. If Turkey announces a phase of alteration of the internal equilibrium, from the point of view of the international situation may be complicated, both for the United States, which for NATO. First, the United States can not do without the Kurdish forces on the ground, the only reliable over the Iraqi army, which does not require the same determination and preparation. Washington is a conflict between the Kurds and Turkey means a comparison between two allies, which can weaken the campaign against the Caliphate, if Kurdish units will be allocated to the comparison with the Turks. The move by Ankara, even if it was self-defense, said that Turkey is not a staunch ally in the fight against the Islamic state, but which aims, through the action of this force extremist reduce if not wipe out the Kurdish military power, objective that falls entirely within the vision of Erdogan. Ankara wants to avoid creating a sovereign entity in the Kurdish region of Iraqi Kurdistan, also capable of catalyzing the independence aspirations of the Kurds in Turkey, but doing so limits the American action. Washington is paying the Iraqi Kurds, despite having expressed opposition to what, will, sooner or later grant autonomy to the state Iraqi Kurds; then how will he react Turkey? It is not credible, in fact, that the forces of the caliphate can conquer these territories, where the presence of oil reserves would allow the caliphate a huge leap in quality. The peshmerga, along with American aviation are able to defend this territory, as has already been established, but what it will do then Turkey? Unable to recognize a possible Kurdish state, but I can tolerate on its borders? Until now, the statements of Ankara equalized, as dangerous, the Kurds in the Islamic state, although, practically, have turned their weapons against the Kurds only. Certainly the American will is directed in the opposite direction, but it is easy to predict that Washington will have to engage in a diplomatic mediation rather difficult. There remain, then to solve the problems unstated but definitely present the different assessment of Ankara and Washington about the dangers of the Islamic state, opinions that may indicate a dangerous drift in a religious sense, as, moreover, has often been pointed out, the state turkish . A huge problem because Turkey is the only Islamic state within NATO, but to help you understand the strengths within Europe at the entrance of Ankara in the EU.
